From 272057447f646c51bc77c60044eb21c683fa366d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:22:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc: make parameter description indentation uniform - In parameter descriptions, strip all whitespace between the parameter name (e.g., @len) and its description so that the description is indented uniformly in text and man page modes. Previously, spaces or tabs (which are used for cleaner source code viewing) affected the produced output in a negative way. Before (man mode): to Destination address, in user space. from Source address, in kernel space. n Number of bytes to copy. After (man mode): to Destination address, in user space. from Source address, in kernel space. n Number of bytes to copy. - Fix/clarify a few function description comments.
